.- Scheduling repairs after closing has been tough as a result of the holidays & general lack of labor.Rough estimate of numbers (assuming 5% vacancy, $780/yr in repairs/maintenance, 10% PM fee, $480/yr insurance, $1227/yr property taxes):Current:Expected based on Rental increase to $670 (assuming tenant accepts increase, rental increase would be starting 02/01/2022):Expected if tenant decides to move due to Rent increase (PM company estimates it to be possible to rent at $725-750/mo; keep in mind this doesn't factor in costs to make rent-ready (if any), as well as the cost of getting a new tenant):

It will probably cost me a fair amount of $ but the hope is that I'll have less tenant tension from top/bottom units.As for electrical there is a sub panel that attaches to the basement unit... might be able to do something with that.I am open to other ideas on how to deal with the heating/cooling if possible and any other helpful tips on a top/bottom rental.If the heating/cooling, water, electrical aren't separated out, then I would have to have a built in price factored into the rent instead of the tenants paying the utils themselves yes?

@Jae SmithIf you sell it - you have to factor in any taxes that you pay.

The lender will likely factor at least partial rents of the other units into the underwriting, so that should help.

I have a colleague who bought 3 new homes in Austin near the Tesla factor in Mar 2020.

Motivation is the most important factor: "What makes you want to sell a nice home like this?"

The numbers you talked about are also factors because the more you can pull out the more you can do with it.

*What the seller is willing or able to do in terms of repairs or concessions will be dictated by a lot of factors.

I think paying attention to factors like this helps make decisions for STR strategy.
